  • yes and no.

    I work as an it support in a small software company, so i do lots of stuff:
    data integration / migration, fixes in our legacy products & websites, and of course fixing printers.

    thats way to complicated explain in detail,
    but just saying IT support doesn’t do it justice (people just think im the guy that tells people to “turn it of and on again” if i leave it at that)

    Instead of telling people directly what i do,
    i just tell them i work in IT, this is what my company does, and i work on these products.

    😂😂😂 the wonders of unicode / utf-8

    it the reason why you can post in any imaginable writing system from ancient sumerian complaints in cuneiform 𒂍𒀀 𒈾𒍢𒅕 to the goddamn seraphim o “серафими многоꙮ҄читїи҄” that was used exactly once in a single 15century manuscript.

    its also the reason you can post emojis nearly anywhere.




  • smartphones are pretty damn impressive.

    they downright make scifi gizmos like dataslates, or comunicators seem outdated.

    gps navigation arround the world,
    even without cellula reception if you have offline map data.
    and automatic navigation / route planning

    a vast array of communication services be it text sound, or video,
    one on one, as a group, or in a public forum.

    a vast sea of information on every topic immaginable.

    ever improving camera & sensor tech.

    and smartphones do it all in one device small enough to fit in your pocket.

    and i didn’t even mention the computing power & storage that oveshadows some room sized supercomputers of the past
